It has put a big(huge) dent in our budget. I am glad that your kids are transitioning to the GFCFSF diet. I am not having much luck with my son, who loves cheese & bread. I will keep on trying though! I agree with you on the rice milk. It has put a big(huge) dent in our budget. I am glad that your kids are transitioning to the GFCFSF diet.

We can't do strawberries as my daughter is allergic but the rest sounds great. I will add a bit of wheat germ with ground flax seed in too. I love your blog and check it often. We just went dairy free for one child due to digestive issues. We also found that once she went on soy she had even more issues. Now that she is off of soy milk she is better but I know there is room for improvement-I am waiting for her physical in March before going GF. Thanks for such a great resource! I also have found that my food budget is affected by what we need to buy for her.<br/><br/>Aimee<br/>journalofamomma.blogspot.com I am going to try the banana smoothies tonight!

The biggest expense is the non dairy milk. I've found Trader Joes the cheapest consistently for it but it's 30 miles away so I only go every 6 weeks. We do soy so I can buy tofutti cream cheese and sour cream but it's always a lot more than the dairy stuff. <br/><br/>I do smoothies everyday. I frequently sneak greens in to them. One of the kids favorites is banana, blueberries, chocolate rice milk, and spinach (shh don't tell them it's in there). I always throw in probiotics and flax and other little additions too. My 4 year old son will drink green smoothies because I call them monster smoothies. (pineapple and banana with greens is his favorite) He loves scaring his sisters with his green monster mouth.
